Ice Skating for FUN and FITNESS
Klamath Ice Sports places a strong emphasis on ice skating not only as a fun recreational activity but also as a great form of exercise, reflecting our concern to address a serious problem in our state. Oregon has one of the highest population of overweight people west of the Rockies. Sixty three percent of Oregon adults and thirty percent of Oregon youth are considered overweight or obese. Eating smart and playing hard help us avoid diseases such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and more. Ice skating is an excellent way to build muscle tone, aid cardiovascular strength and burn unwanted fat. Skaters often feel relaxed and rejuvenated after a good skate in the friendly outdoor atmosphere of our beautiful ice arena. Learning to skate as a child helps establish skills that may be maintained for life…but it’s never too late to start!
